Chapter 15: Fighting wits and courage
The dry and cold climate of autumn makes every ray of sunshine seem so precious and warm.
On the sparkling lake, on a wooden plank bridge that extends into the lake, Zhu Minglang stood on the edge with a solemn expression, looking at the fast spotted blue fish demons in the water, and then at the little crocodile that was paralyzed on the side and was about to turn its belly.
"Click~~~~~~~~~~"
A group of grouper demons quickly swung their tails and splashed next to the baby crocodile, with full mockery.
These damn blue fish demons......
They are very fast, and their agility is far greater than that of those wild groupers by rivers and lakes, obviously there are a lot of them, and they are close at hand, and I don't know why every time the little crocodile pounces on it, they dodge it in great coordination, and the little crocodile pounces all the way.
One afternoon, the torrent was brave, and not a single spotted blue fish demon was caught, no wonder no one accepted this appointment, the difficulty was much higher than it seemed!
"Don't be discouraged, don't be discouraged, it's just that our method is not quite right, I'll study these spotted blue fish demons later, and we'll fight again tomorrow!" Zhu Minglang comforted the little crocodile.
The little crocodile dragon hung its head, probably it didn't expect that it would be so useless, even these spotted blue fish demons could mock themselves.
In this case, when will it be able to compete with the waterfall dragon?
......
At night, Zhu Minglang still locked the door and went to the Dragon Storage Palace.
The little creatures in the Dragon Storage Hall actually have some extraordinary attributes that are somewhat different from the beasts, plus most of them have just hatched, or are still in their infancy, they can be well domesticated and cultivated, and they are the best choice for most people who want to become dragon herders.
It's just that even after some artificial screening, the chance of them turning into dragons is very small.
As some of the small creatures in the Dragon Storage Hall gradually grew up and no one was willing to take them away, most of them were to be released.
Tonight, Zhu Minglang is to help Mr. He let go of some small creatures that are too big, destructive and aggressive. Can't they be allowed to live here for nothing?
After being busy for the first half of the night, Zhu Minglang found that releasing life was not an easy job, after all, most of the people who would be released were actually aggressive, and they hurt and bit other small creatures to death in the Dragon Storage Palace......
"You can go back until dawn, there is a resonant bell over there, if it is not for the outbreak of the young spirit group escape, don't ring it, the old man's sleep is very important, if you are disturbed once, you may not want to sleep peacefully for a month. The meat silkworms you want are at the back of the palace, you can take as many as you want, there are no young spirits to eat this thing, and I don't know who will take these inferior insects to make food. Mr. He instructed Zhu Minglang.
"Okay, old man, go back and rest. Zhu Minglang nodded.
"There are as many as I can when I leave, and as many as I have to come back, and no one is missing. Mr. He said.
"Don't worry, without me, there won't be any less little guys. Zhu Minglang said.
......
According to Mr. He's instructions, patrols should be made every hour to prevent some "weasel" creatures from stealing some young spirit eggs.
Looking around, Zhu Minglang unexpectedly found a pool with a group of spotted blue fish hatchlings in it.
The academy is too perfunctory, catch a few blue fish young spirits in the lake and come over to make up the numbers!
These blue fish are small and different, they have more translucent markings on their bodies, and they still have long whiskers at a very young age.
"I see, when they are in groups, they use the swing of these whiskers to inform their companions that there is an enemy attack. In this way, the other spotted blue fish demons can dodge the little crocodile dragon's attack in advance!" After observing for a while, Zhu Minglang suddenly realized.
"But purely from the point of view of speed, the spotted blue fish demon is also much faster, and the little black tooth has to train in the waterfall whirlpool, on the one hand, to get used to the resistance of the water flow, and on the other hand, to increase the speed!"
......
Sharpening the knife and cutting wood, Zhu Minglang did not rush to let the little crocodile dragon and the grouper demon fight wits and courage the next afternoon, but went to the whirlpool of the waterfall that swept them in.
After two days of feeding, the baby crocodile has grown to about 1.2 meters, and its physique is obviously much stronger than it was at the beginning.
The waterfall whirlpool, with strong resistance and suction power, tempers the physique, which is a very high-quality workout.
"Today's goal is not to be swept away......"
For the sake of safety, Zhu Minglang found a long rope and tied it to the body of the little crocodile, and when it couldn't support it, it could also be relieved by this.
The baby crocodile was very aggressive, and it wandered around the mouth of the waterfall all afternoon, never being washed down by the strong current, and this exercise made its black crocodile skin a lot stronger not long after it had just grown.
On the third day, Zhu Minglang still didn't take the little crocodile dragon to catch the grouper demon.
After eating a large basket full of crocodile dragons, the size of the little crocodile seems to be one size bigger, Zhu Minglang has increased the difficulty of today's training, not only asking the little crocodile dragon not to be washed down by the whirlpool of the waterfall, but also asking it to go up against the torrent and get rid of the dark whirlpool as quickly as possible.
"Very good, you have completed your task today, and you don't need a protective rope anymore. Eat more early tomorrow morning, and we're going to try to pounce on the strong resistance of the waterfall rapids!"
After keeping watch all night, Zhu Minglang got two baskets of large meat silkworms.
It's just that the baby crocodile has grown to one and a half meters in just a few days, and it is estimated that it will not be long before its body length can reach the level of an adult, and its meal has changed from one basket to two baskets!
Zhu Minglang began to have a headache.
I guess I can't feed the baby crocodile anymore, so I have to find some more work to do.
......
On the seventh day, the little crocodile finally finished biting in the powerful rapids, so Zhu Minglang and the little crocodile spirit appeared at the lake plank bridge again in high spirits......
The water of the lake is clear, and the grouper demons are indeed a little overflowing, they are not even near the sinking stone, and often flick their tails and long whiskers on the water.
"Attack!"
Zhu Minglang pointed with his big hand, and he had the potential to wave thousands of troops.
The black body of the little crocodile spirit burrowed into the lake and bit a fat spotted blue fish demon at three times the speed of the past.
The blue fish demon was startled and dodged in a panic.
At the same time, the other blue fish demons reacted, and before the baby crocodile could get close to them, they spread out like ripples.
The baby crocodile is much stronger than before, but chasing the blue fish demon is like chasing its own shadow, and when it always tries to touch them, they retreat!
"Black Fang, scatter them, and then chase after the lone one!" Zhu Minglang said in a loud voice.
When the little crocodile spirit heard the command, he immediately changed his attack method, no longer biting directly, but used his body to disperse the ripple array formed by these spotted blue fish demons, causing some of them to panic......
Sure enough, a young spotted blue fish demon showed a flaw, it was washed away, isolated from the fish, and without the whiskers of other spotted blue fish demons to inform them of their direction, they swam in a daze!
"Whew!!"
The crocodile teeth attacked, and it bit the panicked spotted blue fish demon cleanly!
The black teeth clamped the smooth fish demon, and the little crocodile jumped up from the water excitedly, threw the trophy high out of the water, and showed Zhu Minglang on the plank bridge his hunting results!!
"Haha, we succeeded!!" Zhu Minglang had a smile full of joy on his face.
Although he had slaughtered ancient demons and killed trolls before, he didn't know why he was even more excited to hunt and kill a small spotted blue fish demon.
Probably that's the change.
Under the long period of gray, a glimmer of light is hopeful.
In the same way, when a person has expectations in his heart, even if it is just a little change, he will involuntarily feel excited.
